Hi! I’m Francesca. I’m based in Reno, NV and I help people with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness get strong and feel capable and awesome.
Before I was a trainer, I worked for ten years as a motorcycle mechanic. During that time I was struggling with my own personal pileup of chronic pain and chronic illness, as well as binge eating disorder. For a long time I called myself “mystery sick.” I’d get so sick I’d be bedridden for days, weeks, or months,. Sometimes my joints would hurt so much that I couldn’t stand up, and I’d have to army crawl instead.
I spent a long time going to doctors trying to get help, and was told to “adjust to a new normal” when I wasn’t being dismissed outright. For years I had to figure everything out on my own. Even after I got diagnosed with endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and lupus, there was no guidance for how to actually be able to DO things while working with a body that’s struggling.
The worst part was feeling like my life was going by without me. All I wanted was to be able to DO stuff. I love dancing, roller skating, and lyra (aerial hoop). I want to be outside running around and riding motorcycles, lifting weights and doing things. And not being able to do anything I loved absolutely sucked.
So I became a trainer, and I figured it out on my own. It was really hard and I made a ton of mistakes, but I got to a place now where my life absolutely rocks. My goal now is to help people who were struggling like I was, so they don’t have to suffer alone like I did. I want my clients to feel capable and strong and awesome, and do the things they never imagined their bodies would let them.
If this resonates and you’d like to know more, let’s schedule a call. I’d love to get to know you!
